we did a tie-dye program at the library yesterday afternoon. fifty kids (parents in tow) came out, t-shirts in hand, to create their own colorful works of wearable art. there was much, much fun, and every time i catch a glimpse of the multi-colored freckles and smudges on my hands, toes and shins, i smile.
this afternoon, it was time to rinse out and wash my own creations, a t-shirt and a pair of socks (i have tie-dyed socks! 
). for the briefest moment, as i stood at the sink wearing my rubber gloves and rinsing funny-colored water down the drain, i really wanted to be a deadhead, living out of my vw bus and selling tie-dye in the parking lots outside concerts.
happy weekend.
